Over-the-Knee boots have been essential this season, but I doubt it’s going anywhere anytime soon. If you’re resourceful like me, I try to buy items that I can wear every season, so naturally I get very hesitant to splurge on a statement piece that will go out-of-style after a few seasons. I think there are a lot of options to consider before diving into an $800 investment.

Buy it Used

There are so many apps and websites now that sells their gently used items for half the price or less! I know my friend got her Gray Stuart Weitzman’s boots from Tradesy, and it looked completely brand new! Another app I use is Poshmark, it’s great because you can even try to negotiate the price with the seller a little.

Shop Around for Similar Styles

It’s such a statement piece anyways, who cares if it doesn’t have the same label? Here are links to similar styles that I am loving.

Shop Sale

Fashion is so fast pace that almost every brand has a sale section, and January- February are golden months to get those winter items you’ve been dreaming about. The boots that I have on are also now on sale (link below)! I have attached additional links below of other boots that are on sale.
